So quite a few Microsoft-related tidbits today,
Buy Windows 7 Enterprise, and so small time to publish all of them up. Right here are a couple of that caught my eye throughout my every day content-consumption rounds.BizTalk Server 2010 RTMs; General availability set for October 1: The latest version of Microsoft;s enterprise integration server, a k a BizTalk Server, has hit the release-to-manufacturing (RTM) milestone as of September 23.
